Abstract

'THE SEVEN GATHERINGS' is a collection of Maulana's seven preaches which is an ethic and didactic work and was instructed from the pulpit. It seems that the authorship of 'THE SEVEN GATHERINGS' is prior to his meeting with Shams. It has a lot of stories and common meanings with the Gnostic and didactic work of 'The Mathnawi Ma’nawi'. Furthermore, some verses from the Mathnawi Ma’nawi and Shams’s lyric poetry, regarding to the senses and meanings, have been added to its text. Shams’s collection of poetry is Maulana’s other work and it is the most distinguished Islamic Gnostic and literary poetry which represent Maulana’s spiritual conditions in the times of joy and restlessness. Semantic similarities of 'THE SEVEN GATHERINGS' together with 'mathnawi ma’nawi' and ' the Shams’s lyric poetry' shows that there is a regular stream of thought in different periods of Maulana’s life. One can conclude that Maulana has utilized his poetry to communicate with people in its best way. Studying the semantic similarities of 'THE SEVEN GATHERINGS' together with the Mathnawi and Shams’s collection of poetry helps us to understand the great mystic-Shams’s ideas.
